Hey you wild women!

I am so honored to have this next guest on my show. I picked up her book on the recommendation of a friend and devoured it in a matter of days. We soon became Instagram friends and shared a couple of conversations as her work in the world is SO incredibly important.

She is the author of Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment ... and let me tell you, this book is no UBER feminist woo woo text, but brings facts and data to the understanding of women’s oppression. And her work is the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the generational trauma of oppression. 

She holds an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. 

Her cutting-edge programs have helped thousands of women shift from survival to thriving and master the game of "How good can it get?" in their work and personal lives. She is a sought-after speaker and trainer at conferences and companies committed to setting new standards of excellence in their industry in diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee satisfaction, their physical and mental health, and creativity and innovation.

Being a wild woman means:

The woman who disobeys. She was burned at the stake throughout history. We are the women who disobey the establishment. We don’t settle for the crumbs that the Patriarchy settles or us. ~ Dr. Valerie Rein
